Police are appealing for witnesses following a fire in South Queensferry which happened around 8.40pm on Thursday 23 July at a building site near the Forth Road Bridge.

Entry had been forced to the site and a fire started near some industrial rubbish.

There have been a number of similar incidents in recent weeks, and officers are keeping an open mind as to whether or not these are linked.

Detective Sergeant Andrina Cunningham of Corstorphine CID said: “This was a reckless act which threatened the safety of those in the area and we’re urging anyone with information about this, or any other incidents, to come forward.

“We are also eager to speak to the owner of a black Audi A3 that was seen on the new road from South Queensferry to Winchburgh at the time of the incident, and who may be able to assist with our enquiries.”

Anyone with information is asked to contact Police Scotland on 101 or contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
